How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.1 file-roller-lang to version 3.26.2-4.5.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream file-roller-lang package and not the file-roller-lang package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.1 relevant fixed versions and status.

fr-archive-libarchive.c in GNOME file-roller through 3.36.1 allows Directory Traversal during extraction because it lacks a check of whether a file's parent is a symlink to a directory outside of the intended extraction location.
